Recruits and Propaganda penal troops is a great solution. Soviets dont really need a buildable KV-1 as they have better tanks allready. KV would only be a good solution if the T-34 gun upgrade would also affect KV. Also Soviets dont rally need a IS-2 call-in in 1 doctrine alongside Tank Riders and ISU.KV 1 would be a good replacement for the LL Sherman and the same model (reskinned) could be used for KV-8.You got carried away with GoW. Everything on the field is fireing + 3 more offmap firebases? The cost of it would have to be 500ammo. Also players with a slow graphics card would have a BIG LAG everytime this ability is used.I would like to see a simple inaccurate 10-12 shell barrage using Overwatch shells.Love those shellsCompany of Heroes
kv-1 shouldnt be buildable, no one will use it. theres better AI/ anti building options
If the KV-1 will be, like in RL, with similar stats as T-34/76, only with better armor, a bit more health, and a little more expensive, it surely will be used.
The KV-1 would be awesome if it was an expensive but early call in. Make its gun horrible vs infantry to balance out its early appearance. Maybe a 2 cp lvl 1 command tree call in that cost 700 mp. So it might not make since to call them in late but early game they have a specialty of being the first early game heavy armor.
Maybe like a Churchill: Heavily armoured but slow and lightly armed. If you have to have it then I see it being like that.
